recovering from the flu, getting back to bar method & cafe dulce's gen mai cha latte

bright pink!

hmm haven't really been to a speakeasy per se here, but i've heard good things about varnish downtown. otherwise there are speakeasy-style bars that are just as good. one that i'd recommend is writer's room that's at the back of musso & frank (the oldest restaurant in hollywood) and it used to be where scott f. fitzgerald & william faulkner drank back in the day. has a very old school hollywood feel to it and the newly refurbished version preserves the historic charm as well. i hope this is useful!

hi melly!! so good to hear from you :) for sure, i'll drop you an e-mail!

Without a doubt, Christmas. It's always full of warm, fuzzy moments with family and friends not to mention a surfeit of delish comfort food and sinful indulgences.

english, english lit or history!

i love pumpkin soup and pumpkin custard, which is a thai dessert involving slices of pumpkin filled with a custard made from coconut milk. it's healthy and easy peasy to make.

french toast with lots of maple syrup or chocolate sauce.

More time, because there's always so much to be done and not enough time to do it all.

my collection of print, lace and shirt dresses.

spent a long weekend in napa valley checking out the incredible restaurant scene and visiting some wineries!

because i moved house and it was too far...i'd have to spend over an hour on the train each day i believe, and i wasn't too keen on the commute.

it must be a mother-daughter thing then, cuz my mom went to st nicks! yup i'm doing master's now.

thanks babe! :) i'm 5'5 (but wish i could add a couple more inches). and i've studied at CHIJ Toa Payoh / Crescent / NJC / NTU and now am at USC.

hi there! thanks for stopping by :)
a couple of reasons -
- i'm usually taking photos and don't take many of myself
- i see my blog more as a space where i can share the things i love or catch my eye or inspire me
- more than anything else, for privacy's sake - i get squeamish at the thought of potential employees and the like poking around, so i prefer to keep it low-key while still choosing to open up parts of my life i'm comfortable sharing.
